WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Rating Each Entrant’s Chances Of Winning

8. The Miz

The Miz
WWE

One of just a handful of performers to have a legitimately good night at Raw 25, The Miz left not only with the Intercontinental Championship, but as the Royal Rumble's latest entrant.

The cynical view is that WWE only pulled this title change to free Roman Reigns up to win the Royal Rumble. Regardless, it's great to see 'The A-Lister' back in the ascendency, though there's little chance he'll triumph in Philly. The only way it would make sense is if they have Miz lose his guaranteed title shot to 'The Guy' soon after winning the Rumble, but this is extremely far fetched, and he'll likely be a bit part player.

Chances: Slim.
